Child Injuries in Coastal Highway Collisions
High-traffic routes like Coastal Hwy in Ocean City see a mix of local and tourist drivers, often leading to congested and unpredictable conditions. Intersections such as 46th St are particularly active during summer weekends and require heightened awareness from drivers.
According to Maryland crash statistics, children under 14 make up a growing portion of non-fatal injury victims in vehicle crashes, often due to improper restraint or unexpected vehicle maneuvers. Urban beach areas, where pedestrian and vehicle interactions are constant, present elevated risks.
Drivers are urged to reduce speed, particularly near intersections and in resort towns like Ocean City, where families and children are often present. In the aftermath of a crash involving a child, rapid medical evaluation and emotional support are critical components of care.
